many of those machines have a front panel that can be taken off, with some magnets you can fool the machine....keep the lid down and slip the topsheet in there, you can get atleast 16" of graphics.

It aint cheap, but what is? 120$ usd and hour for table time) I have a laser cutting machine so we don't have to outsource. we wanted to eliminate inks, solvents etc..so it makes sense.

if you want to do one you could send me your "art" and we could do you one, or two of course...

The shoval bends into the bump but the tail needs to be stiff. i wonder if a metal/rubber front with a carbon stringer rear would be the ti...
